Also jammy it was good to see you. Maybe the problem is that mafia is the same, but you have grown as a person

Real contribution: we all get mad at mafia games sometimes when we lose, but part of being like “I thought people here were better than this” is acknowledging that you failed half of mafia as a game which is presenting your case in a form that meets the satisfaction and acceptance of your fellow players. If you play mafia the same every game and don’t adjust your argumentative strategy for the personalities you are interacting with (which can be done even if it’s someone’s first game) then that’s on you.

Is it me who is wrong?

No, it's the children who are at fault.

In my opinion, the most important part of mafia, isn't being correct, it is getting other players to follow your lead. This is important as town and as scum. Persuasive argumentation is key.

The best part is when the game is over and you can see how right you are, and the idiots who tanked the game STILL don't understand why or how they got duped, and will continue to make the same mistakes game after game.

I would suggest taking a look at what you’ve been doing today, using this incredible critical reasoning and logic you insinuate you possess, and direct it toward some self evaluation as to why you’re acting this way :)

To be fair, there is a wildly different style and approach from when I played last actively (alongside Jammy) and today. There is a lot less words involved in the discussion of cases and motivations and in the couple non-reunion games, a near absence of anything that might once have been called WIFOM (which effectively boils down to trying to reason about what the scum were trying to do). To be clear, that's not to say that I think people have to play differently or they suck or that Jammy isn't acting a bit like a baby in this thread. But as someone who enjoyed the former culture, I can see where Jammy is coming from.

The culture is absolutely different from what it was way back when, even from when I started playing in... I think it was 2011, actually. It's honestly been pretty interesting to watch happen, as someone who currently plays mafia maybe once or twice a year.
